Cincinnatus was a hero of legendary proportions in the Republic Period of ancient Rome (and even long afterward) on account of the virtue that he displayed. Committed to living a quiet, simple life, he nevertheless did his duty for Roman society when there was need. In fulfilling his duty, he kept the good of Rome in view at all times, never succumbing to the temptation to use public office for personal profit. When his duty was done, he happily returned to his private life.
